Members of the joint legislative committee investigating the George Washington Bridge scandal will get an update Monday during their first meeting since they have been able to review the latest subpoenaed documents.

Monday’s meeting will include a closed session not open to the public, according to the schedule posted Friday.

Several committee members and staffers spent time on Thursday reviewing some of the materials sought through the 20 subpoenas issued late last month, and at least one lawmaker did so on Friday.

State Sen. Linda Greenstein, D-Mercer, said she spent about three hours Friday afternoon going through records submitted by Port Authority officials and Governor Christie’s office.

“Clearly this is going to take a couple of readings to really get down,” Greenstein said. “I didn’t see too much that I didn’t know about.”

Greenstein is an attorney who has experience doing investigations, including a stint as a state Deputy Attorney General.

“It’s a dogged pursuit of putting a lot of things together,” she said of her previous investigatory work, which included Medicaid fraud cases.

The committee subpoenaed Christie’s office and his 2013 reelection campaign, as well as 18 individuals with ties to the governor or the Port Authority, the agency that administers the bridge.

The panel has been looking into why two of the bridge’s three local lanes were closed for a week, causing a massive traffic problem for commuters while also delaying the response of police and other emergency services in Fort Lee.

Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich has alleged the lanes were closed as political punishment after he decided not to endorse Christie’s 2013 reelection campaign, a charge the governor has repeatedly denied. The U.S. Attorney’s Office has also opened an investigation, and has served subpoenas on Christie’s campaign, the state Republican Party and the governor’s office in Trenton.

Many of the individuals subpoenaed by the legislative committee on Jan. 27 asked for an extension of the Feb. 3 deadline, and Christie’s office said it will be providing documents on a “rolling basis.”

The initial records returned in response to the legislative subpoenas are being stored inside Room 381 on the third floor of the State House Annex, a building connected to the State House where most legislative proceedings are held.

Earlier legislative subpoenas issued in December to David Wildstein, a former Christie appointee to the Port Authority, yielded the emails first published by The Record that linked the lane closures to Christie’s office.

Bridget Kelly, Christie’s former deputy chief of staff, wrote an email to Wildstein on Aug. 13 that declared: "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee.” Widlstein responded, “Got it.” Christie has maintained he had no knowledge of a plot to close the lanes as political retribution against Sokolich.

Kelly and Bill Stepien, the manager of Christie’s 2013 campaign, have said through their attorneys that they will not provide documents in response to the subpoenas, invoking their constitutional right against self incrimination.

The legislative committee, which is chaired by Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg, D-Teaneck, and Assemblyman John Wisniewski, D-Middlesex, has the authority to find witnesses in contempt. Weinberg and Wisniewski have yet to say whether that option will be pursued.
